Newport News’ Center for Sexual Assault Survivors is hosting a stupid event, “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes,” getting weak men to walk a mile in high heels. It’s beyond absurd. The pictures are hilarious. And the men are dopes, who clearly long ago checked their testicles at the door . . . permanently. The event is being marketed as helping to stop rape, violence, and sexual assault. But it won’t do that. The exact opposite, in fact. It doesn’t stop rape, violence, and assault when men degrade themselves at the encouragement of militant feminists. It just makes America a more weak country, as we continue to embarrass men, weaken the American male, and move into a matriarchy.

And, don’t forget, that faux-conservatives, like Nikki Haley and Michelle Fraudkin, are not all that different from these cretinettes getting men to wear high heels. Fraudkin pushed female candidates, only because of their gender, on her site and her Twitter page, with a “Women: We Can Do It” sign on Twitter during the 2010 election cycle. Haley told People Magazine she wants more women to run for office, regardless of party. Why is internal plumbing so important to these two? Because they’d be nowhere and nobody were it not for that they are women. And they know it. They’ve got nothing else going for them.

Check out these “Frequently Asked Questions” featured on the event’s website:

FAQ’s

1. What size shoe do I buy? Add 2 sizes to your men’s size to get the size in women’s shoes.

2. What kind of shoes are best? Open toe, sling backs. Wedges
provide more support/stability.

3. Do I have to buy my own shoes? You may take $10-20 out of your pledge money to purchase your shoes. Then, after the walk, donate them to the Center for next year’s walk.

Reader Sean:

You’ll never get rid of sexual violence any more than you’ll get rid of violence. There will always be some a-hole who thinks he can do whatever he wants because of greater size/strength, etc. But let’s put that aside for a moment. Look at the picture. So, to eliminate sexual violence we’re going to have men walk a mile in high heels? Food for thought: the guys who will put on high heels are almost DEFINITELY not the ones the women need to worry about. How does feminizing men end sexual violence? It might make the victims feel better, but I sort of doubt it.

Can’t we just have a march without treating non-sexual predators like crap?

There’s a picture of a burly sheriff in a smokey-the-bear hat, lacing up knee-high, high heel boots. If he had to actually chase a criminal, I would LITERALLY fall on the ground laughing at him.

Many – not all, maybe not even most, but many – sexual offenders have been emasculated by somebody in their past….mother, ex-wife, ex-girlfriend, etc. So we’re going to HELP sexual assault victims by PUBLICLY emasculating more men? There’s definitely some unwashed, female PhD in Women’s Studies wearing a hemp dress thinking this crap up.

They should just own up to it. The REAL point of this is to make a bunch of men pay the price…for being men. Which, of course they WON’T be after this is over.

I would love to hold a sign along the route that says, “Dude …. seriously?” But I’ll be at my son’s soccer game.

As we move toward more and more weakened men and more women running the show, the number of incidents of female sexual violence toward men is increasing. When are we going to have women parade around in jock straps to “walk a mile in their jocks?”

I have to agree with Debbie and Norman that this is a sad metaphor for how America is ceasing to be a strong country, and for this nation’s declining moral and spiritual values.

There is a great comedy tradition of cross-dressing, but that sort of conedy should be left to the professionals. Milton Berle, I believe, was one of the earliest of the great comedians to make dressing up as a woman a part of his act. Another great comedian is Jonathan Winters, with his character Maude Fritchett to was very popular some time ago. The great Monty Python comedians would also create some fantastic comedy material out of dressing up as women, such as their “drag racing” event for the Olympics. Or Dana Carvey, with his “Church Lady” character from the older seasons of Saturday Nigh Live (which I’m sure was inspired by Jonathan Winter’s character).

(And cross-dressing can also be terrifying under certain circumstances. Think of the character Norman Bates in Hitchcock’s Psycho, played by the incomprable Anthony Perkins, or that derivative character played by Michael Caine in Depalma’s Dressed to Kill.)

But when regular citizens do cross-dressing as “social commentary,” however, I don’t think that makes for good comedy, even though that trooper in red high heel boots does look ridiculous. Being ridiculous is not necessarily funny.

In this case, I don’t think comedy or a “message” is really the point behind the cross-dressing. Rather, I think that the people engaging in this activity actually just ENJOY dressing up as women. There’s a word for that: transvestism, and that practice–unless done by professionals as I’ve described–has more to do with psychopathology than with comedy. And for a movie about that subject, see the 1953 camp classic, Glen or Glenda by Edward D. Wood, Jr., or the movie about Wood himself, starring Johnny Depp and Martin Landau in some great performances.

The people who push & support this pc crap are the same idiot people who would blow a gasket if we passed a law insisting that the actual criminals who beat up women wear high heels as part of their punishment….. These people love to punish ‘society’ for their victimhood, while they constantly coddle criminals.

I am not sure I believe this is a true story. Next you’ll be telling me the president of the United States vilifies those who create jobs and pays taxes, and states that wealth is created from bottom up from poor to rich. Oh, wait, never mind.

So, having men dress up like tranny hookers is supposed to reduce violence against women? This reminds me of those parents who try to turn their little boys into little girls. I would say, as Debbie and others have, that we are just witnessing nothing more than a thinly veiled effort to degrade men.

Maybe they could find volunteers from a local mosque or bathhouse to actually anally rape the supporters in the town square so they get the true rape experience?

Why? It won’t stop violence against women, will it? The sort of man who would agree to participate in a thing like this isn’t going to commit rape anyway and doesn’t need to cripple himself to learn empathy for women.

DS, thank goodness you really get it. And I know you get it because you and I are at the same place regarding feminism and you were never a silly feminist and I was in my younger years (quite militant, too). I had to do a 360 before I could arrive at 180.

This is such utter BS. The state of the American male is sad, sad, sad. Wimpy, feminized men are NOT sexy…not even with hippy chicks and IF they are, it’s because the mental illness or hang-ups of the hippy chick. We like our gay men feminine and our straight men NOT feminine.

This walk should make BUTCH lesbians like Rachel Maddow walk a mile in high heel transexual shoes and NOT the men. Have the butch lesbians do it first if it is so vital to the statement.

Feminism is the zombie that will NOT die in 2012. You have angry morons like Ashley Judd taking umbrage at people commenting on her puffy face and she is in such high-dudgeon she wrote an angry screed about how misogynistic it is for people to see her face and think she had work done. The fact that this self-obsessed creep want the luxury of NOT having people comment on her aging face is hypocritical since her very beautiful face got her in the industry she is in. (And since she never concretely comments on WHY her face is puffy I believe that it is prolly due to psychiatric medication).

She knows feminism is moribund BUT because she does not wanna admit it she left room in her boring essay to add that now women themselves are part of the “Patriarchy” as they comment on plastic surgery work and beauty. Sorry Angry Ashley, the false meme of patriarchy died with Andrea Dworkin.

And women are NOT any more kind then men. Those who have watched the career and political causes of Angry Ashley (and read her book) know she is full of it. But her sycophantic brain-dead fans acted as if she discovered the cure for cancer in response to her big-worded, boring essay that could have been written by an angry feminist 30 years ago.

This whole event implies that women are being forced into wearing uncomfortable shoes by men. Instead of men walking a mile in stilettos, why not hold an event where women walk a mile in sensible, comfortable footwear? Even though it doesn’t accomplish anything, at least they’d be getting some exercise and fresh air.

Sorry to all those folks who doubt it, but I’m the one who sent this story to Debbie. I originally found it on the Facebook page for our local shopping area, who so-sponsors it. Unfortunately, it’s real. I thought this part of Virginia was far enough from the Beltway to be immune from this crap. Sadly, no.

Isn’t this liberalism in a nutshell? Doing things to make you feel good that have absolutely no impact on whatever the issue actually is?

That’s what I always felt about the Vagina Monologues, too. Out of curiosity, I went to see it when it came to my campus. Somehow, women talking in crude and trashy language about their most intimate areas was supposed to reduce violence against women. I remember talking to one pansy-assed liberal guy afterward and all he could talk about was how “empowering” it must have been for the “actresses” to be using the word “cunt” in public. All I could think of was Sally Ride. Becoming the first lady astronaut would seem more of an example of empowerment than adopting filthy mouths. But what do I know?

Worry, you are so right. Where are the feminist’s on THAT issue?? You know the ratio of those freaks who are feminists AND animal rights advocates who march for the death of an innocent CAT before the tragic death of an innocent baby is high (And I myself am an animal lover!!). Liberalism ALWAYS generates the opposite of its stated intent.

If you are a Feminist in 2012 and you wanna have LEGITIMACY the only genre that will give you hairy-legged whiners credibility is if you would take up the plight of what Islamic women have to endure or be afraid of. Otherwise STFU! Your movement has been a failure for over 20 years!

Matt, you said it ALL. I have ALWAYS hated Eve Ensler and “The Vagina Monologues” and knew it was just low-class trash by a bunch of frauds who just wanted to turn men on by being bold and crass. At my feminist apogee I HATED female performance artists because I knew they were raging, narcissistic frauds. These are the kinda slappers who think buying a cake of boobs or private parts are funny. You have NO CLASS when you’re not disgusted by such nonsense. Or you’re a political lesbian with mental health issues.

Sean R., you are more than correct when you said Boston, MA. We have already had a “slutwalk” (please look up “slutwalk” if you have no idea what it is. Feminism has devolved in such a disgusting mess it vomited itself up and reconstituted it’s lame self into rubbish like THAT) and I am sure we will have one of these emasculating episodes of nothingness soon!

I agree with Jon Grant! People must know of the sanity of this site to help us get America back!

Skunky, since you mentioned “Slutwalk”, I just looked it up a few minutes ago and educated myself about this so-called movement. Ironically it’s not just in Boston where you reside, but that movement rally occured a month ago in New York City where I live and I didn’t hear about this back a month ago when Slutwalk had their little rally here in NY, NY. You’re not making this up Skunky (I wish you where), and I’ll provide some evidence and facts with a few links about this inane movement:

Kind of stupid, but it traces back its origins at least to the early sixties– there were books such as “Black Like Me” where whites wrote about how they passed as blacks to ‘experience what it meant to be black’. In the civil rights era, I could see at least a little legitimacy in this type of thing, though of course it has degenerated since that time.

But the semi-credible origins of this type of identity transformation probably account to some extent for the widespread use of this type of role-switching today,and like any other semi-credible idea, bureaucrats and nitwits enlarge on it, and think of new applications that they think will advance their careers. This local sheriff probably thinks it will help his career in some way.

Kind of stupid, but it traces back its origins at least to the early sixties– there were books such as “Black Like Me” where whites wrote about how they passed as blacks to ‘experience what it meant to be black’.

Those whites were sincerely trying to learn what it feels like to be a victim of racism. These men won’t learn how it feels to be a woman or a rape victim. They’ll just learn how it feels to have your feet killing you!!!!

I would like to add my two cents, and BTW to the other “Sean”, thanks and I appreciate mentioning and forwarding this story to DS bro. Reading between the lines in this article (I’ve read the whole article from start to finish), I’m kinda appauled by Michelle Malkin on her Twitter page a few years ago, in which she posted a picture sign of, “Women: We Can Do It”, and Nikki Haley (I’ve never heard of her until today, Debbie forgive me for my ignorance on Nikki Haley) when she said that “she wants more women to run for office, regardless of party, etc.”. To me what both Malkin and Haley are favoring is “Affirmative-Action”, by wanting females to run for office (women can run for office, unless their qualified for the job and their policies) and doesn’t matter their politics.

To that poster/reader Sean, I’d expect this behavior and mentality to occur in places like San Francisco, CA, Austin, TX, New York, NY, Boston, MA, Seattle, WA, Portland, OR, Los Angeles, CA, etc. But not in Virginia, I’ve been to Virginia on a few occasions and it’s kinda conservative, the folks are mainely family-oriented. BTW Sean, are you sure womens groups in Virginia are behind this nonsense?

Hey everybody, Debbie is one of the very few journalists to tell the truth in this country. To that end, I am encouraging EVERY reader of this column to send her column to 10 other people, and tell them to start reading Debbie. We need people to know the truth.

I will continue to post this until Debbie is a thorn in the side of EVERY moron dragging down this nation and this world.

Brilliant and well said Jonathan, to her own credit, DS is pretty independent and indvidualistic. And the folks who wants everything sugar-coated and brush things under the rug make me sick to my stomach, there the ones who’s dragging down this country and the world as you claimed JEG!

my wife and i can only watch a handful of the same shows on TV, jeopordy, wheel of fortune….hmmm, i think that’s it. not quite a handful. anyway, she hogs the 70″ high-def tv in the living room and i pretend i hate going into the bedroom and lounging on the comfy bed and watch my shows. she came into the bedroom during a commerical break and asked, “what are you watching?”. “a gun auction… and after this the stanley cup playoffs.”, i said excitedly. she rolled her eyes and went back out to watch “prancing in gay bars”, as i refer to it.

Sean, get yourself a gravitar – something like Skunky, DS_Rocks and me. Go to Typekey and WordPress (I forget which one this site uses), create/login to an account using the name you used here and then go to profiles.

Upload a theme picture where they tell you – not your personal photo obviously, but anything else you wish to be identified by. That way, anytime you post here using the e-mail w/ which you created that profile pic, your picture will appear next to your post automatically, and one can easily tell whether it’s you or an imposter w/o even reading the contents.

Speaking on the subject @ hand, I couldn’t even stand in any of these, let alone walk. Regardless of whether it’s 1 size or 2. Ever notice how when women who wear these need to run or play sports, they have to go barefoot?

This is what happens when the libs are in charge of promoting. In this case the police have promoted this character to cross dress, or anything else they deem appropriate. He simply falls in line. Sickening. Of the several times I’ve had to defend myself or others from aggressive behaving low lives, I’ve never tried to act less of a man or peel off a shirt to reveal a bra and panties to show how much I mean business.

10 1/2 Triple EEEs. No way I could do this, even if I were to want to, which I don’t. My wife wears sensible shoes—she has a history of back pain with surgery. Her family is Southern, with a family history of magnificant violence towards scum. Her daddy was in the OSS in WWII.

I prefer my approach—anyone who would try to put my perfect little Mayan Queen into a burqa will have the nick-name “Holey” or “Stumpy” added. I also avoid big cities as the food available does not compensate for the danger, and most movies today that are any good can be enjoyed on a 48 inch screen anyway.

This thing is just crap, especially as the women who are setting up this thing would be the first to claim “Islamopghobia” should anyone call out the local imam for being a misogynist psycho (as most of them are). It would be useful if these morons would actually confront the true villians, but they never will.

Who are you people? This event does not denigrate men, only ones who are so insecure with themselves and their gender identity that they can’t wear high heels for an hour. The point of the event is to fundraise for centers that cater to victims of sexual violence, violence that is overwhelmingly perpetrated by men (over 90%). The event is only attempting to raise awareness about a serious problem, and I think if you met these so-called “left-wing extremist feminazis,” you’d find that they’re nice people just trying to help others.

When I was in high school, once a day in almost every year, the guys in the senior class would dress up like the caricature version of female cheerleaders for the annual basketball game of H.S. teachers and school administrators. Thankfully, I did not participate in dressing up like female for that charade as a senior. The senior guys looked totally ridiculous with wigs, make-ups, high heels, and women clothing but they took it in stride and acted pretty feminine for the whole day and night (the basketball game was the evening’s event). It was such a sad sight, but it was fun for these guys. Eh. At a 18 years old student then, I knew I was a man because I won’t dress up as a female just to catering to the girls and make them feel like we should bow down to them and act feminine for their sake.

Used to live in that area. It’s infested with homosexual sickies. Remember across from Newport News, near Smithfield, (home of the famous hams) was a park area that was an open gay orgy area. Cops had to come in and shut it down, when I lived there back then.

This area is the home of PETA and Michael Vick…so the folks there are some real winners.

Just where did anyone get the idea that men walking a mile in high heels would prevent rape? No woman whose I.Q. was not in single digits would try to walk a mile in hig heels. Why don’t you walk a mile in a dog costume to prevent cruelty to animals? It would be just as effective and more comfortable.

If the Newport News Center for Sexual Assault Survivors really wanted to help women, they would discourage WOMEN from wearing high heels or platforms, not try to get men into them. If a woman is, G-d forbid, the victim of an attampted rape, she can neither run away nor fight back in such shoes. Even if she ISN’T the victim of an attempted rape, such shoes make a woman clumsy and off-balance, likely to fall and break an ankle. They are painful to wear and very hard on the bones and joints of the foot and back.

This is taking “walking in her shoes” literally! What is this suppose to accomplished? Other than these so called men having blisters galore while trying to walk on these shoes, is this some feminist/dominatrix fetish to make men suffer? I can not wait for the women to have the men start wearing skirts and dresses next. Hell why not go for the goal of complete transetivism and just have men completely crossdress in women’s clothes?! With degradations like this, the Chinese will think we are real pansys!

“Walk A Mile In Her Shoes” is an international event that has been around for more than a decade. After reading through the comments thread, my sense is that folks were too preoccupied with “piling on” by making a political statement and mockery of the story that they missed the real purpose of the event – to raise awareness and money for community resources that support woman (and children) who are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and spousal abuse. It’s not about liberal agendas, transvestites, fetishes, gay orgies, high school boys dressing as cheerleaders, emasculating man, whether high heels are appropriate for woman in danger, or the dozens of other misconceptions posted in these comments. In fact, over 80 men participated in Harford County Maryland last weekend (you can look up the political demographics of the county’s population). Like other men, and women, in communities around the world, they stepped up to take a stand and profess their public (and personal financial) support for a serious problem that not only affects the victims — someone’s wife, mother, daughter, niece, sister, or granddaughter — but their family members, friends, and coworkers as well.
